So it seems Facebook is the way of the future. Anyone who wants to try and be their competition (if they weren’t to begin with – like MySpace) then I commend them for their bravery. But alas, I hope the competition is prepared to be shot down. I myself have not created a facebook application yet. Note that word yet. Although I’m not a big fan of facebook applications as they clutter up the profile and such I do think that it is a great learning experience and an awesome thing to include in a portfolio. I mean come on, think about it… you go to apply for some sort of web job and you say “yeah I also created a couple facebook applications” that makes you instantly cool and jump starts your interviewers interest in you – because it is so popular and so “in” right now. Although my facebook application development is still in the “yet” stage I plan on attending the Vancouver Facebook Garage to expand my knowledge about the back-end part of this uber-popular social networking extravaganza.  And best of all it’s FREE. Do I have your attention yet? I said… FREE!!! So get outta the house and learn something new – attend the Vancouver Facebook Garage. I’ll blog about it after I attend of course. But still, experience it first hand! For more information you can go to their Wiki or check out the Facebook event page. And yes, in case you were wondering, I DO have a facebook profile – and it’s very cluttered with applications right now, that would make sense hm? Hope to see a great turnout for this event! It should be tons of fun and lots of good learnin’!
